Prerequisites
- A scheduled class with a capacity limit
- Waitlist settings configured under your account preferences
Step-by-step instructions
Step 1: Add clients to the waitlist
- Go to Schedule
- Click on a class that is fully booked (e.g. 30/30 capacity)
- The Waitlist button will appear
- Click Waitlist and search for a client
- Select the client and click Add Client
- Repeat to add more clients
Tip: You can drag and drop to reorder clients in the waitlist.
Step 2: How the waitlist works
- Once a client drops out, the first person on the waitlist is notified
- You can configure settings so:
- Clients are automatically added to the session
- Clients must accept or decline the spot
- If declined, the next person on the list is notified
Tip: You can manually remove clients from the waitlist at any time.
Step 3: Cancel or delete sessions
- In the Schedule, find the session you want to modify
- Click the Pencil Icon
- Choose either:
- Edit Only This Session — brings up Cancel and Delete options
- Edit or Future Sessions — shows Delete only
Cancel
- The session remains on the schedule
- Marked as Cancelled
- Clients cannot view who was booked in
Delete
- The session is fully removed from the schedule
Step 4: Hide cancelled sessions
- Click the Cog Icon in the schedule view
- Select Hide Cancelled Sessions
- Locate the cancelled session
- Toggle Hide and click Confirm
Tip: Hiding helps keep your schedule clean for staff and clients.
Expected outcome
Waitlists are efficiently managed with flexible confirmation rules. Cancelled sessions remain visible (or hidden) for recordkeeping, while deleted sessions are removed completely.
